Hrishikesh Mafatlal Review On The Journey Home

“THE JOURNEY HOME” IS AN INCREDIBLE ACCOUNT of Radhanath Swami’s tremendous determination in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles. What is amazing to see is how Swamiji’s burning desire to seek God started so early in his life, and never waned in spite of unceasing impediments. Indeed, quite remarkably, these impediments were seen by him very philosophically and accepted with gratitude! It is also heartening to see Radhanath Swami’s gift of observing the smallest detail and his amazing memory to be able to recollect experiences occurring almost 40 years ago with such great detail.

Swamiji’s moving story also brings to the fore his compassion for the materially poor, but spiritually vibrant, citizens of India.

This awesome rendering of a pure hearted person’s quest for spiritual knowledge is a must read.

My dream is coming true, soon the whole world will know about the most incredible amazing person in the world, who I feel unimaginably blessed to know, Srila Radhanath Swami.

How can someone be so close to god? From his childhood, Radhanath Swami had this craving to be very close to god & know more about him. i visited the site http://thejourneyhomebook.com which is about his autobiography.

These words of Hrishijesh Mafatlalji resonates my feelings of the heart.
Just like a diamond cannot conceal itself in mine of coal similarly the greatness and glories a pure and noble saint cannot remain concealed too long. This book is a boon is a revelation indeed.

Radhanath Swami has lead many peoples lives in his short journey to India. What many may experience in a life time he has experienced in his divine journey to India and all varieties of people would relate deeply with his experiences and learn from them.

Thank You Radhanath Swami.

it is really amazing after you read the book, it is full of adventures, and maharaj has explained so beautifully each and every incident of his life, as if we are presently viewing there, and such a wonderful memory we all agree with Prabhuji , that also it is very difficult to recollect after 40 years
On May 21st, 2011 at 3:22 am Preeti Says:
when you read the book first time it is unbelievable, iin such a young age Maharaj’s search for God was so intense, though he got so many difficulties but he went on and on. this give proof that he has just come from the spiritual world as a god’s representative to deliver the fallen soul

Mafatlal ji points out HH Radhanath Swami ‘s compassion for the materially poor, but spiritually vibrant, citizens of India.

Swamiji had promised to that Sikh guard – if you allow me in, i promise you i will do good to your citizens one day. And Swamiji indeed has lived up to his promise. He is doing immense charity in the form of educating the modern youth about the ancient Indian Vedic religion through the various progs in the temple and outside, mid-day meal progs, Barsana eye-camps, Bhaktivedanta Hospital, to name a few.

Indeed when we hear Swamiji speak it seems it should never end.. Thank you for everything HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj.
